Today I jogged to the end of Kwage Mesa. Once on a group hike, I'd seen another hiker go down to the next bench at the end of the mesa. Today, I finally got down to that next level. Then I made it down two more levels to the very last rock bench level of Kwage Mesa. When I say "walked down", much of the time I was using my arms and butt to down climb. The south side of Kwage Mesa is very steep with cliffs plunging into Pueblo Canyon. The north side rises above Bayo Canyon but isn't sheer cliffs.
A friend wants to see if there is a way off the end of Kwage Mesa. This winter, she and I found a rough way up the side of Kwage Mesa from Bayo Canyon but more to the west. I'll have to tell her that it looks possible to go up the side of Kwage Mesa closer to its eastern end from Bayo Canyon and then climb the 3 bench levels to the top. I'd rather go up then down. It looked like a somewhat clear path went west. I followed it until it was blocked by a fallen tree. I could have gone further but that was enough exploring for one day. On the north side of the bottom bench, I saw human shoe prints so someone else has been there.
